What it might look like
Leave a one-page note beside supplies. Show the caregiver the sleep space and have them explain the plan back in their own words.
Make the plan your own
Choose one idea and ask the people involved what support they need. Notice whether it makes the day more manageable, then keep, change, or drop it. You do not have to complete every suggestion. Different ages, abilities, cultures, and family arrangements may call for different choices.
